NORTH YORK, ON / ACCESS Newswire / February 26, 2025 / ZTEST Electronics Inc. ("ZTEST" or the "Company") (CSE:ZTE)(OTC PINK:ZTSTF) announces Q2 2025 revenues of $2,080,861, as the headwinds we alluded to in previous quarterly reports played a significant role in halting the string of eleven consecutive quarters of year-over-year growth.

Revenue for Q2 2025 was $2,080,861, generating $377,972 in cash from operations and $451,856 after allowing for changes in working capital. Revenues for the six months ended December 2024 were $4,100,368 and operating activities contributed $983,090 to cash reserves.

While revenues for the quarter declined just over 15% year-over-year, the resulting gross margins declined just under 15%. In other words, the gross margin percentage increased marginally despite the revenue decline.

Net income for the quarter was $208,604, raising net income year-to-date to $532,724. Each of these figures trail results from one year prior, which were $504,329 and $676,213 respectively.

Lower net income, in combination with a 29% increase in outstanding shares, reduced basic EBITDA per share from .022 last year to .011 in the most recent quarter. For the six month period basic EBITDA per share was .025 as compared to .034 at December 31, 2023.

On December 31, 2024 the Company had working capital of $4,328,785. It is currently well funded, with strong liquidity and low leverage, and is investigating ways by which it may be able to invest capital to further enhance its growth.

Steve Smith, CEO commented, "Although the uncertain threat of tariffs on imports and exports is adding to market uncertainty, we have begun hearing suggestions of larger future orders. The Company will continue to explore opportunities to solidify and expand its market share and to ensure we are prepared to capitalize when more favourable market conditions return."
